The pendulum appears everywhere in daily life..and you may not realize it.

1. Of course there is the Grandfather Clock and all other Pendulum clocks.

2. The next most commonly seen pendulum is the kiddie swing. Actually a tandem pendulum. One of the biggest errors in installing a tree mounted swing is to have two different length support chains. The two pendulums will swing with different (time) periods, swinging crookedly cock-eyed.

3. Automobiles have used a Pendulum mechanism to sense a crash and lock up the seat belts. The mechanism is installed in the door pillar with the seat belt retracter.

4. The "Door Knocker" on a front door is a form of Pendulum. Not free swinging, but static against the door, until 'knocked'.

5. Oh, don't forget the Metronome, an Inverted Pendulum.

6. The combination of Pendulum and Clockwork appears in other places as well. Think of the 'Old - Style' car bumper jack. The handle is the pendulum, and the notches and mechanism on the vertical riser is the clockwork. Work the handle and the jack goes up or down.
